Today is the last day to order from the Holiday Catalog! There are many items that will not be available after today such as the Expression Thinlits (so sad). The word “Love” in this set would be perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Yesterday I mentioned that I would show another version of my snowman card. Instead of cutting him out, I stamped him directly onto my cardstock. Which one do you like better?

Who doesn’t love a snowman?? This cute little guy is from the set Snow Day in the Holiday Catalog. I stamped his body using Smoky Slate. I inked the stamp up, stamped it on my grid paper and then stamped it on my Whisper White paper. I did this because I felt that the color was just a bit too dark going immediately onto the paper. An extra added bonus was that I could practice placing his eyes, mouth, etc. on my grid paper first! I also used the Expressions Thinlits Die to make the word Merry (yesterday I used the set for the word Thankful). I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock and paper from the Season of Style DSP Paper Stack. I cut my snowman out and used dimensionals to mount him on a piece of Whisper White that I ran through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. Another option, if you don’t want to cut the snowman out, is to stamp him directly onto a piece of paper that has not been embossed. I will post one tomorrow so you can see the difference.
I hope this inspires you to get into your stamping space today and make something!

Happy Friday! Yesterday I mentioned that I was heading to the DMV to renew my license. One piece of advice: make an appointment online! Oh my gosh, I was in and out in ten minutes! It was very painless. Now I just hope my picture turns out!!
Today’s card uses a very fun product from the Holiday catalog called Expressions Thinlits dies. These are used with your Big Shot and are very easy to use. I found that using waxed paper made the words just pop out of the die. The sandwich I used was: cutting plate, cardstock, waxed paper, thinlit, cutting plate. I used dots of glue with the 2 way glue pen to adhere the word to my card. I also used the 1 1/4″ Burlap ribbon. I don’t know why I waited so long to use this product!
Have a wonderful rest of the day!
